METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NEURAL TISSUE MODIFICATION

摘要

A method and system for altering or modifying a function of neural tissue in a patient. An electromagnetic signal is applied to the neural tissue through an electrode. The electromagnetic signal has a frequency component above the physiological stimulation frequency range and an intensity sufficient to produce an alteration of the neural tissue and a waveform that produces nonlethal temperature elevation of the neural tissue during application of the electromagnetic signal to the neural tissue.
